Hello,
I've just downloaded the 1st file at the file list manually and when attempting to extract it a pop-up windows asks for the password..
Name of the file is: BloodlinesV12Complete-14601

I have no clue what the password is and I've been searching the net for a while now. Am I permitted to know the password and to install this mod?
Please help, out of all mod types, I enjoy quest mods the most and this one looks too good to pass up!

 

What password?  Unless it is private and only shared among friends, there's no password on released mod anywhere.  Would you try it with latest 7zip(or any other that supports .7z)?

I'm using PeaZip currently, I'm not sure if the problem is there right now.. I'm not very familiar with file compression types and such either;
I'll try it with 7zip and get back here with my result, thanks for the tip!

EDIT: Ok I've downloaded 7zip and tried to extract the file, but it can't be done.. the program says it the archive can't be opened/extracted or anything.. quite frustrating

It's possible that the archive is corrupted.  Usually delete it and redownload it can solve the problem...

Indeed the archive was corrupted! I was somewhat suspicious as the corrupted file finished downloading way too soon, I guess its download was interrupted and I didn't notice.
Thanks again, and "blessings of Mystara upon ye"! )

So far it has beed all good. 
I've got the quest where I must find clues at The Retreat, so I went there and found two letters. I've searched every inch and container in the house and around it, followed the guy from the house to a grave of a woman, searched it and around and everything, but nothing I do will progress the quest. Talking to Mirimar (?)  guy in Silverhome on Water results in nothing new either - he still wants to know what the importance of the amulet is... I've backed my save and progressed the quest with the code: <span style="color:rgb(154,154,154);font-family:'lucida grande', 'lucida sans unicode', arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(24,24,24);">setstage VHQ003 20</span>
 
<span style="background-color:rgb(24,24,24);">I finally recieved an update in my journal! But the problem now is - Harold is gone! Like really gone from the game, I can't find him anywhere and he's not where he usually was (3rd floor of Silverhome). Also, the guy from The Retreat with his two women is gone as well.</span>
 
<span style="background-color:rgb(24,24,24);">The only other mod which changes cities and landscape I'm running is The Lost Spires but I haven't found anything it could conflict with... I have no idea what to do and have no access to other quest or npc codes to help myself if possible.. Lastly, after entering: </span><span style="color:rgb(154,154,154);font-family:'lucida grande', 'lucida sans unicode', arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(24,24,24);">setstage VHQ003 30  another journal entry reads I should talk to the Argonian Skooma dealer in Bravil, but when I do, he has no dialogue options beside Rumors.</span>
 
<span style="color:rgb(154,154,154);font-family:'lucida grande', 'lucida sans unicode', arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(24,24,24);">I'm starting to hate the mod... Is there a Troubleshooter FAQ of some sorts?</span>

Edit: please ignore this post, it is no longer relevant (to me).

I'm sorry for double posting, but here is some info about The Retreat and how to avoid its bugs:

After reading trough some forums, I found a post from the author regarding The Retreat quest, describing how to avoid, I dare to say, a bug known by many.
The issue is, the NPC Marimar in Silverhome on Water looses dialogue topics crucial for starting the quest properly.
If aftet talking to him you get no map marker(s) pointing where to go next, it means the quest got bugged (at least that's how I experienced it).
Anyway, to avoid the bug and continue correctly you must speak about all topics Marimar has, EXCEPT "Questions?". If you ask him about Questions? he will no longer talk about Harold - the topic that starts the quest properly.
After he has nothing new to say, feel free to discuss Questions?.

I scoured the net for a few days to get this tip, so I decided to post it here just in case others have the same problem
